Caption: “Hi! I am Shannon, the founder + designer of The Paper Cub Co. located in sunny Winter Park, FL. My studio is located in our home’s sunroom, which I love, as it is filled with light from our floor to ceiling windows that look out onto our enclosed front yard and patio. One day I will outgrow the space, but I couldn’t ask for a more peaceful work environment. I require many surfaces to work on so I have a big L-shaped desk that houses my computer, wacom tablet, scanner, and printers, and also allows me a space to paint and draw.” - The Paper Cub

Caption: “My husband and I are originally from Florida, but recently spent 6 years living out on the West Coast in Long Beach, CA where The Paper Cub Co. was imagined up. We moved back exactly one year ago and are thrilled to be back in our home state! We love the community here in Winter Park and the greater Orlando area. There is a lot of local talent! Pictured here is one of our screenprinted States Series postcards. We have all 50 available now.”

Caption: “Here I am screenprinting our “Color Mix” Thank You card, which uses a split fountain technique where three different inks are pulled to create an ombre effect. Each card is hand-pulled one-by-one and is a true labor of love. Another perk of being back in Florida is that we are just 5 minutes away from Mama’s Sauce who print and finish a majority of our cards now. This arrangement allows me more time to design, but I still like to get my hands dirty and print so there will always be some things that I’ll keep in-house.”

Caption: “As a Graphic Designer by trade, the way I approach designing our cards is fairly orthodox. I always start with a rough sketch and general concept, and then I hand-letter many of our designs using ink, gouache, or pens. My goal is to create well thought out designs that are equal parts content and composition. Color and special embellishments come into play once those elements are established resulting in a mixture of design sophistication and fun. And then there are those rare ideas that just fall out of the sky. I like those a lot. ;)”

Caption: “Each one of our products are packaged and ship from our studio with great care. I love packing up orders and tucking in fun little surprises. I want your order from The Paper Cub Co. to be a real treat to open and contain things you’ll want to keep or pin onto a bulletin board. These little extras add some fun to the everyday.”

Caption: “We’ve currently got quite the card warehouse happening in our home with one bedroom completely filled with racks, sorry guests! I have to admit that I am a organizing nerd and love gazing upon them when they are full of folded cards in their cello sleeves all ready to pull for orders. It’s the little things, right? Well, thank you for following along and thank you Erin for having me!”
